Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 177: Becoming a Laughing Man

"Uh...wait, what did you say your name was?"

"Sister, my name is Li Zhendong. Muzi Li, Zhen means "revitalize China", and Dong means "East."

Li! Zhen! Dong!

Jiang Li looked at the child's appearance carefully and suddenly felt a little unsteady.

Oh my god, no wonder she always thought this child looked kind! It turned out that...

God!

What kind of shit luck is this! She picked up a movie actor before, and now she picked up the future richest man in Hong Kong!

This……

This……

Even if she had ten pillows, she wouldn't dare to dream like this!

The future boss of a business empire, the richest man in Hong Kong, actually fainted at her doorstep. Could this be the legendary pie in the sky?

Seeing Jiang Li stunned, Li Zhendong was also scared. Did he say something wrong just now?

Li Zhendong stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Jiang Li's eyes. It took her a long while to come back to her senses.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Li then suppressed her shock and said, "Nothing, nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."

Li Zhendong then smiled brightly: "That's good, sister, you scared me."

Jiang Li also laughed: "I was almost scared too."

"what?"

"Nothing, nothing. Well...I'll go clean up your room first."

"Sister, let me go."

"No, no! You just recovered from a serious illness, you still need to rest well."

Jiang Li pushed Li Zhendong back to the bed, told him to lie down and rest, and then went to clean the room. After cleaning, the rain just stopped, and Jiang Li hurried out to buy bedding, towels and other utensils for Li Zhendong. Seeing Jiang Li running around for him, Li Zhendong was extremely moved. His parents always said that there are still many good people in the world. It turned out that his parents really didn't lie to him.

"Sister, I will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future."

Jiang Li said casually while spreading the quilt for him: "Okay, okay, as long as I come to your house as a guest in the future, don't give me a bad face and treat me with good wine and good food."

Li Zhendong was shocked when he heard this.

"If my sister comes to visit me in the future, I will definitely greet her in person. I won't dare to show her a bad face."

Jiang Li turned around and winked at him: "You said this, don't forget it."

"How could I forget? I will remember it all my life."

Looking at Li Zhendong's innocent and ignorant face, Jiang Li smiled brightly.

After finally cleaning up the room, it was already dark when they finished. Jiang Li hurried to cook, and Li Zhendong felt embarrassed to be idle, so he took on the job of lighting the fire. After the food was ready, the two finally sat down. Jiang Li made scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, stir-fried some vegetables with pork belly, and specially steamed a dish of bacon. The two of them had a simple meal.

After sitting down and talking in detail, Jiang Li found out that Li Zhendong was already 11 years old, but he looked like an eight or nine-year-old because of malnutrition and was too thin.

The more Jiang Li listened, the more she felt sorry for him. Take good care of Li Zhendong! Feed Li Zhendong and make him fat! This was her first mission this time!

With Li Zhendong, Jiang Li felt that she worked harder, was more enthusiastic when she saw customers, smiled more, and spoke sweeter, which also increased her commission. There was no other way, now she was also a person who had to support her family, and she still had to sell some smiles!

Jiang Li went to work during the day, and Li Zhendong stayed at home to look after the house and do housework. Li Zhendong had mentioned that he wanted to go out to work before, but Jiang Li scolded him back, saying that he was in the period of growth, why did he need to work, he should stay at home to take care of his health, and when he had money in the future, Jiang Li would send him to school.

Regardless, Li Zhendong was very moved. Although he was young, he had lived alone for so long and was very sensible. Jiang Li asked him to rest, but he couldn't sit still. Every day at home, he did all the work he could do, hoping that Jiang Li could rest more after she came back.

Jiang Li couldn't persuade him, so she could only let him go, but she repeatedly told him to take it easy and not to tire himself out. But to be honest, Li Zhendong did a good job, at least chopping wood, making fire, and fetching water were much better than Jiang Li.

Last time, Jiang Li was just chopping wood and got a thorn stuck in her throat. In the end, Li Zhendong used a needle to pick it out for her for a long time before he finally got the thorn out. While picking out the thorn, Li Zhendong saw the red mole on Jiang Li's palm, which was small, red and very cute.

Fearing that Li Zhendong would be bored at home, Jiang Li bought a few chicks and ducklings and asked Li Zhendong to take care of them so that he wouldn't be too lonely at home. After get off work in the evening, Jiang Li would buy groceries and cook while Li Zhendong washed the dishes. After dinner, Jiang Li washed the clothes while Li Zhendong hung them up to dry. The two of them worked together and their days seemed to be getting more and more lively.

Li Zhendong felt the feeling of home for the first time in a long time. Jiang Li treated him very well. Seeing that his clothes were thin, she bought him new clothes and new shoes. Seeing that he was thin, she bought him meat and eggs every day. When other children scolded him and bullied her, she scolded back. Once, she even brought a rolling pin to the other parent's house and had a quarrel with him. When he was sick, she would carry him to see the doctor. Seeing that he was greedy for other children's candies, Jiang Li bought the best candies and chocolates in the department store that night, saying that he deserved the best things in the world. After eating a piece of candy, Li Zhendong's eyes became wet. He seemed to have a sister, a sister who was better than his biological sister.

As the days passed, Li Zhendong's complexion became better and better, he gained weight and grew taller. Jiang Li was very happy to see this, but also worried.

She can still take care of Li Zhendong now, but who will take care of him after she leaves?

Arranging Li Zhendong's subsequent life is the biggest challenge Jiang Li faces. Little Zhendong only feels that Jiang Li occasionally looks at him with a melancholy face, but he doesn't know that these worries are all for him.

It is said that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. In fact, the same is true for my sister!

Since moving in, Li Zhendong has been in high spirits almost every day. But when Jiang Li got up one day, she found that something was wrong with Li Zhendong. He looked listless and was distracted even when wiping the table.

"what happened?"

Li Zhendong looked up at Jiang Li, but quickly lowered his head, wiped the table in a panic, and said in a muffled voice: "Nothing."

nothing?

It would be strange if there was nothing!

Jiang Li put her hands on her hips and said pretentiously, "Why is there nothing wrong? Tell the truth, don't lie!"

Jiang Li thought that Li Zhendong might have been bullied by the naughty kids outside, otherwise he wouldn't be so droopy. In her imagination, she had rolled up her sleeves and was ready to open the door to fight, but she didn't expect that Li Zhendong would bury his head even lower when he saw her aggressive attitude, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Today... Today is my birthday."

"Although my family was poor in the past, my parents would always cook an egg for me and celebrate my birthday with me whenever it was my birthday. But now..."

In just one year, the family was broken up.

He was the only one left, homeless.

When Li Zhendong thought of this, his eyes instantly turned red, and then tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

When Jiang Li heard this, she was stunned at first, and then her heart ached.

In this chaotic world, these poor people.

Jiang Li walked over, squatted beside him, took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe his tears, and coaxed him softly: "Don't cry, don't you still have me? From today on, I am your family."

"As long as I can, I will stay with you and protect you. Today, I will not only let you eat eggs, but also longevity noodles and dumplings!"

Li Zhendong, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes, blinked and asked: "Eggs will do, why do we need to cook noodles and dumplings?"

Jiang Li blinked mischievously: "Because... the main theme is luxury!"
